Patent number: 11111370Abstract: A promoted membrane suitable for use in single-ply roofing applications is disclosed. The membrane comprises EPDM rubber and 0.1 to 10 wt. % of an adhesion promoter. The promoter comprises a polyester resin having a hydroxyl number within the range of 28 to 250 mg KOH/g, a content of terephthalate recurring units within the range of 40 to 65 wt. % based on the amount of polyester resin, and a glass-transition temperature within the range of 40° C. to 80° C. Roofing systems comprising the promoted EPDM membranes are also disclosed. Compared with an unpromoted membrane, the promoted membranes provide a substantial and unexpected boost in peel strength such that the roofing systems resist weather-induced failure of the bond between the roofing membrane and the roof substrate. The invention helps roofers minimize or limit the aggravation and cost of warranty claims from customers whose buildings and contents may otherwise be damaged or destroyed by exposure to wind and/or rain.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignees: STEPAN COMPANY, CARLISLE INTANGIBLE COMPANYInventors: Warren Kaplan, Sarah Wolek, Mike Heishman, William Schneider

Patent number: 10662652Abstract: A roofing board, such as a polyiso insulation board, includes first and second surfaces, where the first surface is lighter in color than the second surface. This allows the roofing installer to choose which of the surfaces to expose to the atmosphere, the lighter surface being cooler than the darker surface. The lighter surface may have a solar reflectance greater than the darker surface. A roofing membrane is then adhered or otherwise attached to the exposed surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Carlisle Intangible CompanyInventors: Chad Buhrman, Ronald L.

Publication number: 20110277806Abstract: A low profile flexible photovoltaic cell system, which is particularly suitable for use on sloped surfaces such as hills, landfills, and the like, includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells adhered to a flexible membrane. The cells are aligned so that the electrical wiring for each cell is at an upper edge of the membrane as it would be located on a sloped surface. A flexible flap, preferably made out of the same flexible membrane, is bonded to the flexible membrane immediately above the top edges of the aligned photovoltaic cells. The flap extends downwardly and covers the electrical connections of the photovoltaic cells. The free end of the flap is, in turn, fixed to the membrane fastened to areas between adjacent photovoltaic cells using a hook and tile type fastener, or a strap, or other type of connector. This protects the electrical connections of the photovoltaic cells from the elements, in particular, water, snow and ice, but can be easily opened for inspection or repair.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2010Publication date: November 17, 2011Applicant: Carlisle Intangible CompanyInventor: Richard Gillenwater
